Let them offer their loyalty!

Women are a rather miraculous creature.

They inherently like to be complimented and praised.

Moreover, no matter the identity of the person giving the compliment, or what their relationship is. Anyway, as long as it's not someone they "despise", they tend to enjoy it.

Even... praise from an enemy can heighten their sense of achievement.

So even though Shuman had already categorized Qiu Tu within the "enemy" camp, hearing him compliment her beauty, good body, and personality, Larilo still felt truly exhilarated from the bottom of her heart!

However, although she felt great inside, Larilo still hadn't lost her reason.

She keenly sensed something was off: What was Qiu Tu up to with this seemingly random praise?

'Has he discovered me?'

At that thought, Larilo felt it was somewhat unlikely.

The reason remained the same: If Qiu Tu had discovered her, he could have simply turned her over to the Security Department or captured her. There was no need for such coyness.

As for whether Qiu Tu or the Security Department might possibly not possess Cataclysmic treasures capable of capturing Evil Gods, she considered that possibility as well.

Larilo thought that given her value, once her presence was detected, the Sanctuary would definitely send Cataclysmic treasures capable of Capturing Evil Gods right away.

Furthermore... she felt that with Qiu Tu's shrewdness, if he had discovered her, but didn't have the Cataclysmic treasures for capture, he would likely maintain the status quo and hold on to her.

He wouldn't be like now, deliberately praising her and attracting her attention.

So... with that in mind, Larilo thought... perhaps Qiu Tu was genuinely praising her from his heart?

'It's confusing...Let's see how it goes.'

With that thought, Larilo didn't rashly try to escape but continued to possess Fang Tangtang, quietly listening in on their conversation.

All of Larilo's emotional fluctuations were almost entirely within Qiu Tu's view.

Seeing that his sudden praise didn't scare Larilo into running away, Qiu Tu smiled stealthily to himself: Success...

The 36 strategies for dealing with women, [Testing the Boundaries].

In the realm of scams or the "player", there's a law: cast a wide net, but focus on what you catch.

Many people think this wide casting is about asking out every girl they see, or flattering them, which is a big mistake.

The most crucial point of this kind of net-casting is testing with very basic conversation tricks.

Smart girls/targets, upon seeing these tricks, have already directly passed them by.

Those left behind are often the girls and targets who are easily deceived.

This is why after some frauds or players are exposed, countless people wonder how such crude tricks can deceive anyone?

And "Testing the Boundaries", this strategy for dealing with women, follows the same principle.

Use relatively simple conversation tricks to probe the "target's" current state.

If the target gets scared off, that's fine... other remedial actions are waiting for her afterwards.

But if the target accepts this probing, it actually reveals that she is now in a state that can be "hooked".

The reason Qiu Tu dared to use such an aggressive method was that after forging a cooperation with the Security Department, Qin Shuman had already handed over the control of a 30-person surveillance team to him.

So, outside of Longshan Road, Qiu Tu had already laid a trap; even if Larilo got startled, she wouldn't be able to escape and would still be in the palm of Qiu Tu's hand.

With the probing now over, Qiu Tu felt assured. He could finally proceed to the third step of his plan.

Looking at Fang Tangtang, whose eyes were almost spiraling, wearing a baffled expression, Qiu Tu's acting skills exploded. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Alright, I know you're not interested in this topic and don't understand it."

"You go ahead with your work, I'll check on my friend."

Having said that, Qiu Tu made as if to leave.

Indeed, just as Qiu Tu expected, Fang Tangtang became anxious at the prospect. She quickly reached out and grabbed Qiu Tu's hand.

Possibly realizing that such a move was too bold, she immediately let go of Qiu Tu's hand after grabbing it.

Then she timidly said, "I'm not uninterested. I'm very interested."

After speaking, she even turned around and turned off the stove, showing her readiness to listen to Qiu Tu's speech. She then voluntarily brought the conversation back to the topic,

"Qiu Tu... are you and that Evil God... um, Lord Evil God very close?"

Qiu Tu was aiming for just this effect.

It would be too fake if he initiated the conversation, but if Fang Tangtang directed the topic, it would seem much more real.

So, hearing Fang Tangtang's question, Qiu Tu showed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he said earnestly, "Tangtang, you're my woman, right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's straightforward words, Fang Tangtang blushed and nodded. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Only then did Qiu Tu say, "Actually, we're not close."

Fang Tangtang: ??

After that, Qiu Tu added, "At most, we can be considered to have a spiritual connection."

Qiu Tu, with a hint of reminiscence, said, "The first time I knew about her was when investigating a case."

"The perpetrator was a follower of hers. So, I voluntarily let her plant the Evil God's Mark on me, and then I met her in a dream."

"Later, we each had our own schemes, but ultimately we didn't interfere with each other."

"At the time, she joked that if she established herself in the real world, she would make me Archbishop."

"And I joked that I wanted to be the Pope."

Fang Tangtang, with her beautiful oval-shaped face full of seriousness, listened very attentively.

The Larilo possessing her did the same...

Qiu Tu continued, "Afterward, when the case ended, we actually didn't have much to do with each other."
